Bring Petroleum Products under GST

The government brought-in GST to streamline multiple Tax structure prevalent in India for decades. Another objective of the Indian government for implementing GST is to standardize & lower the tax slab on essential goods for the benefit of poor & middle class. However, the Petroleum products like Diesel, Petrol & Gas has been kept out of the GST regime by the government. The prices of Diesel & Petrol in India are the highest despite the crash of Oil prices at International level. Even if the government levies highest Tax slab under GST, the Petrol will be cheaper by minimum INR 20/- per litre in metro cities in India. This will also have a direct impact on the prices of other essential goods due to lower transportation costs.

With this petition we wish to bring it to the notice of Finance Ministry to accept the request of Millions of Indian lower & Middle class citizens and bring relief in their lives.
